It's all about the clicks!

 Hi all, welcome back to my blog! Today I am going to be talking about search engine optimisation. One of the most effective ways to boost the profile and profitability of your business is to gain more traffic to your website. In the vast worldwide web this may seem like a difficult task however, there are some techniques you can try to boost the traffic to your site! 👇


1. Quality- Before you even worry about search engine optimisation you must make sure that the content on your site is of a high quality and achieves it's desired purpose. High quality content will be pushed to more people by the algorithm and users who find their way onto your site are likely to return if the quality is good! 💫

2. Keywords- Arguably the most important element. You must predict what type of things users will be searching related to your websiteor product. You must pick out some common words that are used more frequently and ensure that the titles and headings on your website match these keywords.

3. Influencers- The newest global phenomenon, social media influencers are the newest form of celebrity and have a massive pull in terms of branding and advertising. Partnering with popular local social media influencers is a great way to make your website more well known and promote your products. 

4. Leveraging your content- Articles, blogs, audience testimonials such as ratings etc. are a great way to boost the reputation of your website. 👏

5. Visuals- As I mentioned in a previous blog, engagement is KEY. Your website needs to grab the attention of any users through the use of pictures, gifs, emojis, videos and more. 💥

6. Promotional emails- Although promotional emails from companies will often find themselves deleted! 😂 They are still a good way to ensure that word of your website is spread amongst the public and your website name becomes recognisable. 


7. Digital Ads- Perhaps one of the more straight-forward methods. Advertising on social media and other websites is a great way to attract traffic. It's also important to promote on websites that are conducive to gaining more traffic on your own! e.g similar products or topics.

8. Be consistent- Consistency is vital! Traffic may be slow at first but you must regularly update and improve your content or unfortunately your website and business will be going nowhere!😬

9. Market Research- Many people underestimate market research but knowing your customer is so valuable to any business. Knowing what products your customers desire and tailoring your website as such will certainly boost traffic.

10. Backlinks- Your website is backlinked if a link to your website can be found on another website. Backlinks are one of Google's top ranking factors. They play an essential role in most search engine algorithms and learning to utilise them correctly could see both your website traffic and your business soar..... and to prove my point on the effectiveness of backlinks, here's a video explaining a few more ways to boost SEO!


So there you have it! Those are 10 tips for improving your Search Engine Optimisation (SEO). Hopefully they can help you to create a very successful website.

Thanks very much for reading.

Take care!

The rise of E-Commerce!

 Hi all, hope you are well! Welcome back to my blog. This week I am going to be talking about something that has become very prominent in recent times and I predict will sky-rocket in the next 10 to 15 years, e-commerce! Essentially e-commerce is the buying and selling of goods and services online. Numerous platforms to allow e-commerce have popped up in the last few years. Such as these listed below: 👇 WIX: The first one is one I've seen advertised for some years now and that is wix.com. Wix is a tool that makes it easy to create your own website. It gives scope for customisation and personalisation and prides itself on being user friendly. A key component for any e-commerce business is a website and I would recommend this platform for a gym as customers want to easily see which type of membership is for them and an easy to navigate website will allow for this. If you have time to spare and would like to build your own website, this video will show you how! Big Cartel: Big Cartel...

Who am I? Time to get to know your new favourite blogger!

Hi all! Welcome to my new blog, I'm new to this so don't be too harsh! In this blog I will give my views and opinions on a range of different business related topics over the coming weeks, I hope to keep you engaged and maybe learn a thing or two.   As this is my first blog I am going to begin by introducing myself. My name is William Halpin and I am from a small parish called Slieverue in south Kilkenny, only 5 minutes away from Waterford city.  I am 21 years old and I am in my final year of BBS (Hons) at SETU Waterford. I am in the accountancy stream and am hoping for a minimum 2:1 degree from my final year studies. I feel I have benefitted greatly from my 9 month stint of work placement at PwC. I was a member of the tax team in the Waterford office and I was delighted to accept an offer to return to the company after my final year depending on my results.  During my placement I learned of the importance of information systems in the workplace. In the modern day wi...
